The United Arab Emirates’ National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has activated red and yellow weather alerts across multiple regions due to dense fog conditions significantly reducing horizontal visibility. These advisories remain in effect until 10:00 AM local time on Monday, February 2nd, 2026.
Meteorological reports indicate predominantly fair to partially cloudy skies throughout the day, with low cloud formations anticipated over eastern territories. As nighttime approaches, heightened humidity levels are forecasted to envelop coastal and inland areas, creating optimal conditions for mist and fog development extending into Tuesday morning.
Temperature readings show notable variations between major urban centers. Abu Dhabi residents experienced a minimum of 14°C with daytime highs reaching 27°C, while Dubai recorded slightly warmer conditions ranging from 16°C to 26°C. Humidity metrics fluctuated significantly between 25% and 90% across both emirates.
Surface winds maintained light to moderate intensity, predominantly blowing from northwesterly directions at velocities of 10-20 km/h. Occasional southeasterly gusts reached 30 km/h, particularly affecting maritime zones. Marine conditions remained generally calm in both the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman, with slight wave activity reported.
The NCM continues to advise motorists and maritime operators to exercise heightened caution during reduced visibility periods, implementing necessary safety protocols as per national weather emergency guidelines.
